Prime power indices in factorised groups.

Abstract

Let the group G=AB be the product of the subgroups A and B. We determine some structural properties of G when the p-elements in AB have prime power indices in G, for some prime p. More generally, we also consider the case that all prime power order elements in AB have prime power indices in G. In particular, when G=A=B, we obtain as a consequence some known results.

Abstract

We obtain some structural properties of a factorised group G=AB, given that the conjugacy class sizes of certain elements in AB are not divisible by , for some prime p. The case when G=AB is a mutually permutable product is especially considered.

Abstract:

Graphs of treewidth at most two are the ones excluding the clique with four vertices as a minor. Equivalently, they are the graphs whose biconnected components are series-parallel.
 

We turn those graphs into a free algebra, answering positively a question by Courcelle and Engelfriet, in the case of treewidth two. First we propose a syntax for denoting them: in addition to series and parallel compositions, it suffices to consider the neutral elements of those operations and a unary transpose operation. Then we give a finite equational presentation and we prove it complete: two terms from the syntax are congruent if and only if they denote the same graph.’
